Abstract: 
This particular article is a collection of some recent research articles on fluid flow problems. The present article summarizes the recent research developments regarding the experimental and theoretical examination about thermal conductivity of different nanofluids. The current investigate analyzes several factors those strongly affecting thermal conductivity of nanofluids include temperature, solid volume fraction, particle type, particle size, particle shape, magnetic field, different base fluids, pH, ultrasonic time and surfactant. Other than, different justifiably attractive models contributing enlargement of thermal conductivity of nanofluids are invoked. Lastly, major heat transfer mechanisms namely Brownian motion, thermophoresis, nanoclustering, interfacial nano-layer and osmophoresis responsible for remarkable role in upgrade the thermal conductivity. Hence the heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids are considered.
